Okay this is a first world problem and I freely acknowledge that. I had to pick up 6 prescriptions this afternoon at CVS. The text said there were 7 but I'll figure that out later. Anyway when I get stuff at the district clinic there is no copay. I don't really care when I have to go to CVS bc the copay is like $5. . . Yeah until today with 6 medications and several for 3 months. I paid about $60. Like I said--first world problems. There are people who pay hundreds of dollar per month for just 1 medicine. I pay a lot for health insurance but it pays off.

Oh, man. I wish the medication that I had to pay $400 for and someone threw away was $60. That would be so much easier to swallow.

We get so much healthcare virtually free here that it can come as a shock when we suddenly have to pay for something.

Maybe have the prescriptions switched to your district clinic, hey...$60 is not that small of an amount. I have to scramble when son has a big copay--he did this month, and it hurt so, so bad.
